Mangrove loss will create hotspots of carbon dioxide emissions (including one in Bay of Bengal)
Recognising the carbon sequestered through coastal ecosystems at the national level can aid in achieving India’s targets and mitigating climate change. 2 hours ago
Six mangrove-rich regions, including the Bay of Bengal in South Asia, are identified as future hotspots of carbon dioxide emissions from mangrove loss due to various factors, according to a new study.
Emissions from the loss of these “carbon superstores” could reach 2,391 teragram carbon dioxide equivalent by the end of the century, or 3,392 teragram CO2 eq when considering foregone soil carbon sequestration – a missed opportunity to capture (sequester) more carbon in losing the mangroves, according to the study.
